Iowa Stuns No. 1 Florida After First-Half Scuffle as Folgueiras Hits Game-Winner

A first-half scuffle drew double technicals, prompting a sideline outburst by Florida’s Todd Golden toward Iowa’s Ben McCollum.

Overview

  • Iowa advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 73-72 win, sealed by Alvaro Folgueiras’ corner three with 3.9 seconds left.
  • With 8:35 remaining in the first half, Folgueiras and Florida’s Alex Condon tangled for a loose ball and officials assessed technicals on both.
  • Video and postgame comments reflected disagreement over whether Folgueiras swung at Condon or struck at the ball, with no flagrant issued.
  • Todd Golden was caught on camera cursing the double-technical decision and later said he was told any punch did not connect and would not exceed a Flagrant 1.
  • Folgueiras denied throwing a punch and Condon said he was unsure if he was hit, and no further discipline was reported after the game.
